Abstract
Systems and methods for determining occupancy. In some embodiments, a system comprises at least one processor and memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor, the instructions when executed cause the system to: obtain information related to presence of a user within a space; obtain information related to one or more RF signals within the space; associate the one or more RF signals with the user based on the information related to presence of the user and information related to the one or more RF signals; and determine presence of the user based on the association of the user with the one or more RF signals.
Claims13
A system for determining occupancy within a space, the system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor, the instructions when executed cause the system to:
- obtain information related to presence of a user within a space;
- obtain information related to one or more RF signals within the space;
- associate the one or more RF signals with the user based on the information related to presence of the user and information related to the one or more RF signals, the one or more RF signals including RF signals emitted by one or more user devices;
- assign a weight factor to the RF signals based on a type of the user device emitting the RF signals;
- and
- determine presence of the user based on association of the user with the one or more weighted RF signals.
A method for determining occupancy within a space, the method being implemented in a computing system comprising at least one processor and memory storing instructions, the method comprising:
- obtaining information related to presence of a user within a space;
- obtaining information related to one or more RF signals within the space, the RF signals including RF signals generated by one or more user devices;
- associating one or more RF signals with the user based on the information related to presence of the user and information related to the one or more RF signals;
- assigning a weight factor to the RF signals based on a type of the user device emitting the RF signals;
- and
- determining presence of the user based on the association of the user with the one or more weighted RF signals.
A system for determining occupancy within a space, the system comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to output signals conveying information related to a user and information related to one or more RF signals within a first space;
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor, the instructions when executed cause the system to:
- detect presence of the user within the first space based on the output signals;
- detect a plurality of RF signals within the first space based on the output signals, the plurality of RF signals including RF signals generated by one or more user devices;
- associate one or more RF signals from the detected plurality of RF signals with the detected user, the one or more RF signals being emitted by one or more user devices of the user;
- assign a weight factor to the RF signals based on a type of the user device emitting the RF signals;
- and
- determine presence of the user in a second space based on detecting the weighted RF signals in the second space.
